The four linguistic meanings constitute the concept of the word deen in the Qur’an where it implies a comprehensive system of life that is composed of four parts:

The rulership and the authority belong to Allah (S.W.T.).The obedience and submission to this rulership and authority by those who embraced this deen. (Constitution)The complete system (intellectual and practical) established by this authority (Allah). (Social, Economy, Judiciary, Political system)The reward given by this authority (Allah) to those that followed the system and submitted to it and the punishment inflicted upon those who rebel against it and disobey it.

Hence when Allaah stated that those who do not rule in accordance with Islamic sharee’ah are guilty of kufr, He warned against helping them or taking them as allies or close friends, and He commanded the believers to fear Him if they were truly believers. He says (interpretation of the meaning):“O you who believe! Take not as Awliyaa’ (protectors and helpers) those who take your religion as a mockery and fun from among those who received the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before you, and nor from among the disbelievers; and fear Allaah if you indeed are true believers”[al-Maa’idah 5:57]

Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal extracted that Huthayfah (RA) has said that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "The Prophecy will remain amongst you as long as Allah wills, then when Allah will HE will take it away. Then it will be Khilafah Rashidah for as long as Allah wishes. Then when HE wishes he will take it away. Then there will be hereditary leadership for as long as Allah wills. Then when Allah wills HE will take it away. And then there will be tyrannical rule for as long as Allah wills. Then when HE wills he will take it away. Then there will be a Khilafah on the method of the Prophet. And then the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) remained silent." [Musnad Imam Ahmed 4/273]

Imam Ahmad extracted on the authority of Al-Nu'man Ibnu Bashir ® who said: "We were sitting in the mosque with the Messenger of Allah (SAW), and Bashir was a man who used to follow his Hadith (SAW). Then Abu Tha'alaba Al-Khashni came and said: "O Bashir, do you recall the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah (SAW) about the Amirs?" Upon this Huthayfa said: "I do recall his speech". So Abu Tha'alaba sat down and then Huthayfa said: "The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: The prophecy will remain among you for as long as Allah wills, then Allah will lift it when He wishes to, then it will be a Khilafah Rashida (rightly guided) on the method of the prophecy, it will remain for as long as Allah wills, then Allah will lift it if He wishes, then it will be a hereditary leadership which will remain for as long as Allah wills, then He will lift it if he wishes, then it will be a tyrannic rule, and it will remain so for as long as Allah wills, then He will lift it if He wishes, then it will be a Khilafah Rashida on the method of the prophecy, then he kept silent". (Musnad of Imam Ahmad 4/273).
